5. Bid Management is part of the Sales Phase of the Service Delivery Life
Cycle.
It enables a client to obtain value from the ‘solutions/product/service’ that the
Service Provider is proposing.
Lengthy discourse with the prospects are necessary to identify the problem
they are attempting to resolve [Account Management]

What is Bid Management?
6. Bid Management becomes a casualty of a Cliché Corporation
Head Office
Regional Offices
National Offices
• administrative overhead
• no local knowledge
• additional reporting
• culture clash
• receptive gap
• no empathy [global to
local]
• compromised submission
• potential ‘margin’ on
‘margin’
• ‘Too Many Cooks’
syndrome
‘Global’ Bid Manager
Frustration
Obfuscation
‘Local’ Bid Manager
Best Practice – if not carefully selected & implemented - is sometimes merely a shortcut to bad delivery
Time zone trouble
If you think you know the answers, you’ll only look at the facts that fit

7. The Opinion Paradox
Source: Sales Synthesis
Number of Resources on the Bid Team
Productivity
The crest of sensibility
The larger a Bid Team, the lower the resultant productivity
MNC
Executive
Involvement
‘Technical’
Involvement
Opinions and Positional
Power do not a robust Bid
Team make
The trajectory of hopelessness

8. Use intensive analytics to determine the correct growth strategies and territories [qualified opportunities]
Flatten the organisational structures as much as reasonably possible [rapid relevant structures for decision-making]
Move everything possible to a national level - with global ‘virtual’ teams [obtain national value and leverage globally]
Be aware of belief systems and allow for ‘all user/s’ interaction [spread the decision-making to the correct entities]
Factual
knowledge is an
imperative
Internal politics
is self-
destructing
Know your real
competition
Relationships are key
to successful
engagements
Higher profitable
opportunities, the
higher the
investment
